Resilient health systems appraisal model. whole-of-system approach to health system resilience in fragile contexts: a best-fit framework synthesis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Fragile contexts are characterized by multiple simultaneous shocks combined with limited resources and inadequate institutional capacity to manage and respond effectively. These contexts account for 25% of the world population and are home to 72% of those living in extreme poverty, making resilient health systems essential to respond to the health needs of more than 2 billion people. This study aimed to develop a framework for the appraisal of health system resilience and subsequently inform the design of resilience building activities in fragile contexts.

Method
